Define technical solutions through research and team investigation, in line with the vision directed by the CTO.
Actively participate in the design and construction of software across the full stack - including code structure, deployment architecture, DevOps, automated testing, and integration of third-party systems. This will primarily involve the use of LLMs, with the expectation you will do virtually no hand-coding.
Collaborate with client stakeholders and fellow team members to ensure a shared understanding of solution design and roadmap delivery in line with agreed budgets.
Drive the migration of existing polyglot solutions to standardized Rust and TypeScript, towards more standardized and portable deployment architectures, and pass on technical learning to the broader organisation to embed the technical strategies throughout.

Must have some experience with a lower-level language for application or systems development such as Rust (preferable) or C++.
Experience in TypeScript and React or similar front-end frameworks, and a well-developed understanding of web application development.
Hands-on experience deploying to Azure and/or AWS, including building CI/CD pipelines and using infrastructure scripting frameworks (e.g., Terraform).
Demonstrable experience in software design for distributed and asynchronous architecture. In particular, you will need to show examples of projects using microservices and messaging where you have been a key contributor to the design and construction.
You will already have embraced the use of LLMs over hand-coding and be able to articulate how this has improved the speed to deliver and safety of the systems you build.
With the help of LLMs you can produce clear and concise design documents.
You have excellent written and verbal communication skills to translate between requirements and technical tasks.
